@vga256 I have fond memories of the wood paneling and eating in a novelty sized wine cask.
@rodvaren 😅 i also remember wood everywhere

@vga256 university years, one of my friends' summer jobs, she had a per-diem when she travelled, which exceeded her needs, and she took a few of us out to a restaurant which had a promotion, giving out branded glassware from Upper Canada Brewing. For a while, a group of us had matching glassware. Over time, they all broke.

20 years later, I found a matching branded glass at Value Village, which I bought and gave her as a birthday gift. I no longer have mine, but they can be found on ebay!
